“I don’t need to go up and down,” Hanks said. “I think I’d need a little bit longer in paradise.”
Going to the moon is another matter – and the subject of “The Moonwalkers,” an immersive documentary co-written and narrated by Hanks.
“I’d do that in a second,” Hanks said. “I don’t have the math. I do not have those abilities, but I’m sure there’s something I could do in order to help the program.”
The two-time Academy Award-winning actor is a lifelong space buff, and he has channeled his passion into “The Moonwalkers” at the Lightroom, a London venue specializing in interactive art and film experiences.
Visitors sit on benches surrounded by imagery as the 50-minute film brings NASA’s Apollo space missions to life. The focus is on the 12 men who walked on the moon between 1969 and 1972, the thousands of people who helped them get there and a new generation of astronauts set to return to the moon as part of the Artemis program.
It’s a high-tech blend of archive film footage, drawings, animation and digitally remastered photographs — but not, Hanks stresses, any computer-generated images.
“Every photograph, every image was a photograph taken by a human of the subject,” Hanks told as he sat in the venue in front of a giant lunar landscape. “So there’s nothing fake.”
